Court Rejects Netanyahu’s Request to Attend Hearing on Expedited Trial
An Israeli court on Friday rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to appear in court for a hearing on the decision to speed up his ongoing trial by holding five hearings a week. Netanyahu had asked to attend the session on Sunday and argue the matter in person.
In its ruling, the court said it did not intend to hold a hearing on the decision itself at that stage. Instead, it said the parties could be heard on Monday.
The request and rejection relate to the court’s plan to accelerate proceedings in Netanyahu’s trial, which would significantly increase the number of weekly hearing days from the current schedule to five. The court’s decision leaves the issue unresolved for now, with the sides expected to present their positions at the next available hearing.
